Aight then people, greetings from living hell:
I'll make it quick: I've tried everything I've found yet on google etc. etc., but everytime I start Empires, it launches, I can hear the music, it seems to be running fine, and maximized, but, here's what's wrong: It doesn't 'appear', it says it's running, and the mouse input is being sent to the game, as well as keyboard, BUT, there are absolutly NO graphics appearing, no menu no nothing. Just my desktop and background. I've done 800x600 32 bit, every res and little tinker I could find and NOTHING. Tried unistalling and reinistalling DirectX(9.0C) and B, and of course, same prob. I had it running about 2 months ago on my old card, the original Integrated Intel Extreme 2, 32mb shared, and then we got a GeForce FX 5200 128MB, and bam, this comes. I've tried reinstalling the game too.
Any help folks? Really appreciated.
Cheers,
Tavy
